Dataset: Advancing towards cancer theragnostic by probing the ²²⁵Ac decay chain with ultra-high-resolution metallic magnetic calorimeter based detectors

This dataset contains the processed data and full analysis workflow underlying the results presented in the publication:

Advancing towards cancer theragnostic by probing the ²²⁵Ac decay chain with ultra-high-resolution metallic magnetic calorimeter based detectors

Files

The dataset is organized into two archive files:

analysis.zip: The full Python-based data reduction and analysis pipeline
data.zip: The processed spectra, OriginLab project file, and theoretical spectra

Using the Jupyter notebooks, the ADC calibration file, and the development version of the fitfiles library included in analysis.zip, the processed data contained in data.zip can be reproduced from the individual triggered MMC signals. The processed data can be used to generate the figures in the publication. The individual triggered signals are not included here but are provided separately.

Python Data Reduction and Analysis

The archive analysis.zip contains the complete data analysis workflow. Inside the analysis directory, the two subfolders 2024_09-Ac225 and 2024_09-Tanzboden_Fe55 include multiple Jupyter notebooks (*.ipynb) documenting the full data-processing chain. These notebooks perform all steps required to generate the calibrated energy spectra shown in the publication, including fitting, filtering, corrections, and calibration. A development version of the fitfiles Python library, used throughout the notebooks, is included. The necessary ADC calibration file is provided in the files folder as beamtime.parquet.

Processed Spectra and OriginLab Analysis

The archive data.zip contains the processed spectra and the OriginLab project (*.opju) used to create the figures in the publication. These files represent the spectra derived from the analysis workflow. The included files are:

originlab.opju: OriginLab project containing the full spectral analysis
225Ac55Fe.csv: Energy spectrum of the ²²⁵Ac measurement with ⁵⁵Fe calibration 
55Fe241Am133Ba.csv: Energy spectrum of the ⁵⁵Fe, ²⁴¹Am, and ¹³³Ba calibration
Nucleonica.csv: Theoretical line energies and intensities exported from Nucleonica
Xrays.csv: Computed characteristic X-ray energies and transition probabilities
SDD.csv: Comparison spectrum of the same ²²⁵Ac sample measured with an SDD detector
